A - Clear golden orange color. Effervescent with medium light colored head.

S - Caramel malt and hints of citrus hops. Not very strong smell.

T - Lots of malt flavor but not as much citrus hop flavor as I was hoping for. Finishes on a bready yeast flavor. Malt and yeast are the highlights with just a hint of the hops.

M - Light and bubbly, easy to drink.

O - I can see why this is a widely distributed beer. It has a non-offensive flavor but is almost too simple. It is enjoyable and easy to drink. Was hoping for more of a hop flavor in this Amber Ale -- but the Belgian influences are noticeable.

You're not my beer, Fat Tire, but I'll drink you anyway. Appearance is a solid amber. Smell is interestingly of cereal and hops, citrus hops at that. Let's give her a taste. I get a hoppy and malty beer with a creamy finish. Nicely done overall. I'd drink it again, but I have an embargo against all NB beers for personal reasons. I'd say drink up if it's your cup of brew hah hah.
